Belux additions

The plugin was heavily modified for the Belux vACC. Features:

• Different font size and weight for the first line (callsign).
• Changed speed threshold when taxing to switch tag information (gate, rwy) with groundspeed from 25 to 50 knots.
• Implemented gate field from Belux plugin in the tag
• Added pro_mode_belux filter: only show tag when AC is squawking mode C.
• Removed green tag background color when on runway
• Set symbol brightness to 70 by default (making it more easy to spot the secondary track symbol).
• Custom filters support
• Non-rectangular tags
• Realistic target symbols
• Realistic tag borders
• Support for the TopSky menubar
